The government has called upon all to submit video and still images of Anti-discrimination Student Movement and the July Revolution aimed at preserving those.

The Press Information Department (PID) has issued a hand-out to this end, reports BSS.

"The videos and still photos of the revolution in your collection are our national assets. Contribute to the conservation of the resources," the hand-out read.

The PID under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has taken the initiative to permanently preserve the audio-visual documents and still images of the events of the July Revolution that have aroused the world for the future generations, the hand-out said.

If anyone has video footage or still images of the movement and revolution, has been requested to send those to the email address ([email protected]) with a brief description.

The revolution has shown the dream of a bright new Bangladesh to stand tall on the global stage as a fascism-free, democratic and self-respecting nation, the hand-out said.

The students and people were involved in the movement.

Children-teenagers-students have sacrificed their lives to build the new Bangladesh reflecting their dreams.

The tragic atrocities of bloody July and its heroism may be lost without proper preservation, the release added.
